Angel, do you still have a list of the holdovers from last year and did you originally track who nominated which movie? Asking for additional stats for this month's challenge

Thanks a lot! Do you also have the nominators for the current (complete) ballot?

Welcome to the forum!
Unfortunately for you, it's too late to nominate movies. Maybe next year.

I interpret the instructions for ratings that ratings should be about evenly distributed, at least for the 3s and above, so I just took my master list, divived everything I feel positively about evenly, and went from there. And then there's a surplus of 6s because of my own submissions.

High mean can be explained by few dislikes and lots of favourites that i've seen from the list (a majority being 8+ while my average is just a little bit over 6) so yes perhaps the disadvantage is more for movies i haven't seen out of the list. I abstained from voting for 1 movie (300) which would've gotten a 3 based on the rating i currently give to it.

Perhaps i'll watch a few (and mostly the ones I think i'll like), but i'll try to participate more next year (so if someone can provide me with a list of the DtC nominees up next year, i can already watch a selection of it, after the current process is over).

Also i still have to do procedure 2 and i'm not sure what it means. I'll see.

I haven't seen instructions for ratings... but yes, i was quite unsure, but if a lot of DtC nominees turns out to be favourites, it would be ridicilous to rate a movie i liked a lot to rate it below 3 because people don't nominate movies I (strongly) dislike? But yes i've had some trouble rating it, since a disproportional amount seem to be favourites.

Around 1/5th of all movies i've seen, i rate 8 or higher than 8 (which translates to 5 on this ballot, or 6 if high 9/10). Apparently 24 out of 35 movies were rated 8 or higher on IMDb, so quality seems to be quite high, or I just had the luck to watch the right movies (and also i nominated 12 movies i of course like a lot, which helps too i guess). Excluding those i still have 12/21 that were rated 8 or higher, which is still better than 20% of all movies.

[joachimt]

I'm not sure either, because I don't know what you mean with "procedure 2".

[Angel Glez]

Not necessarily. One thing is your own taste and another this (very diverse) ballot.

Not necessarily. One thing is your own taste and another this (very diverse) ballot.

I mean that in the sense that it's catgorize as even groups of 600. So the ballot might mean there's a imbalance, but in the absolute you should have as many 6s as 5s etc. At least that's my understanding.

There has to be some kind of categorization in your list of favorites, but the DtC ballot is unclassifiable.

My ballot is approved, so no issues.

Ángel usually provides a list of the holdovers (films on this year's ballot that had a high score but not enough votes to make the list) and revotes (films currently on the DTC list that are up for a revote next year) after the final list is revealed.

I don’t understand how you come to that conclusion. With the groups of 600, you mean the guideline of which part of the TSPDT list refers to, (f.e. 6 means I think this movie should have been in the top 600 of the original TSP list)?

Yes. How is that hard to understand? Maybe I'm expressing it poorly, but here's what I mean: my normal ratings have a Bell curve shape, right? Lot of "good" films, not so many great ones. But the distribution suggested by those 600 groups is an even one, that's all I mean.

[Onderhond]

But since the ballot is made up out of randomly suggested films, it's perfectly possible you don't believe any of the ballot suggestions belong in the TSPDT list, no?

[Onderhond]

I believe you may be thinking of rating the films on the ballot relative to each other (which sounds like a perfectly plausible way to do it too, but isn't the way it's being done now). The current rating is based on absolute ratings.

With the current rating system, if you dislike all the ballot films you can just give 0s across the board.
With the rating system you seem to be suggesting, you'd still have a bunch of 6s, for the hated films you hate the least?

Is that where the confusion lies?

Wow. I've been playing this game for 11 years, and this is the first time that I have ever been listed as a top-voter (yes, I'm aware that there are many who haven't submitted their ballot yet, but it's still cool). I guess that comes from watching loads of shorts. I don't know if I'll be able to maintain a top-voter position, but I would like to beat my personal record of 459 if possible. Still not sure why I voted on so many films in 2016. Must have been more titles than usual on the ballot that year.

Oh, thanks again for the excerpt. Still looking good on my end.

[Lonewolf2003]

With the rating system you seem to be suggesting, you'd still have a bunch of 6s, for the hated films you hate the least?

This. Than I did understand. It just doesn’t make any sense to me to think of the ratings as relative to each other. Those groups guidelines to me are just an indication of how good you think a movie is.

No that's not what I'm saying. I could theoretically have only 0s (if I didn't submit anything), but I don't really know how I'm expressing it so badly. The thing says to break in grousp of 600, but given I need to adapt that because I've only seen somewhere in the 2100 films or so, so I took all of the film I feel poisitively towards, broke them in even groups and then looked at where the films that are on the ballot fell.

So, are you're saying that...
a) you look at all of the films that you've seen, and divide those into even groups?
b) you look at only the films on the ballot that you've seen, and divide those into even groups?

If it's a), that makes sense, and thus your groups would all be even, but your rating groups on the ballot wouldn't necessarily be.
If it's b), I think that's the part that doesn't make sense to a few of us, given that the ballot is not a perfect sampling of all of the films you've seen (or in general), and instead are rather skewed (especially given that a couple thousand of the more critically acclaimed ones are excluded).
